The clue was, “Crack addict Tyrone Biggums was a recurring character on this sketch comedy series.” The answer of course was, “What is Chappelle’s Show.” Some fans were tickled by hearing say “crack addict"...

But fans of Chappelle’s Show and/or crack weren’t the only ones tweeting on Monday. Oscar nominee Kumail Nanjiani’s career reached new heights when he was also mentioned, though Trebek didn’t get his name quite right.
